Hi, I am a biologist and new to teaching Stats for undergraduate Biology students in a Brazilian University. I'd like to start off with something new in the first day class !!! The idea is to get the students attention for a GOOD and FUN world of thinking and avoid the idea that numbers are boring, not easy, not useful for biologists interested in cells, animals and plants and.... not in "math"... !!! Please send me what your suggestions !!! (this is not being easy with biologists.........) Thanks........ Voltolini _____________________________________________________ Prof. J. C.
